I predict the Conservatives are going to make a huge comeback and when the May 5 election. Tony Blair is finished, along with his party. On May 6, we will be waking up to the news of the Tory Comeback with Prime Minister Michael Howard.

Well, they're not idiots. So, people realize that the party they pick will directly affect who is PM. People in parliamentary systems thus almost always vote the party, not the man.

In their system, the voters are voting for their district's MP, not the PM. I think most Labour voters will still voter their pocketbooks and still go with their Labour MP. If Iraq is still a big issue there, I might suspect an intra-party fight to oust Blair.
